My poker playing online has been up and down recently and this month in particular I seem to be losing my way a little bit. I think my problem is me. There are periods where I will play some really good poker, stay disciplined and end up with profit. On the other hand there will be times when i call down big bets with middle pair, for no apparent reason other than in case my opponent is bluffing. I just cant seem to concentrate long enough on it anymore. Not sure what the answer is to this, but need to find it quick...
My live game however does not have this problem. Round Steve's on Saturday I played really well for six hours straight, finishing at about 2am! I really do prefer live play, because of the psychological part of the game. Studying my opponents movements, trying to put them on a hand by the way they carry themselves. I find that part of the game a lot more interesting than the statistics etc...although you need to know your rough odds to survive in the game.
If i could actually pass my driving test, i could go play cash games at the Casinos and Card clubs but there is nothing in Andover like that. If i could afford the Gambling license I'd set up my own card club here as I think it would do really well.
